In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, Karen Potter and Rob Stoddard sit down with marriage ministry leaders Brad and Heidi Mitchell to discuss one of the most overlooked yet powerful habits in marriage: praying together. While many couples pray individually, surprisingly few regularly pray as husband and wife—and the impact can be profound when they do.Drawing from their new devotional resource and decades of marriage ministry experience, Brad and Heidi share why prayer helps couples navigate conflict, make decisions, weather difficult transitions, and stay connected to both God and each other. They explain how bringing challenges before God changes the dynamic of marriage by shifting couples from opposition to partnership and helping them pursue God's will together.The conversation also explores common marriage struggles, including communication breakdowns, forgiveness, major life transitions, digital distractions, and sexual integrity. Through practical advice and biblical wisdom, Brad and Heidi offer encouragement to couples who want to strengthen their relationship and build a Christ-centered marriage that can withstand life's challenges.Whether you're newly married, navigating a difficult season, or simply looking to grow closer as a couple, this episode serves as a reminder that healthy marriages are built intentionally—and that prayer may be one of the most powerful tools God has given us to strengthen them.Episode Topics Discussed• Why so few couples pray together regularly• The power of prayer in strengthening marriage• How prayer helps resolve conflict and improve communication• Keeping Christ at the center of your relationship• Common marriage struggles and how to navigate them• Major life transitions and their impact on marriage• The importance of forgiveness and extending grace• Sexual integrity, accountability, and finding hope after failure• Technology, social media, and digital distractions in marriage• Practical ways couples can reconnect and communicate betterResources MentionedBuild Your MarriagePraying Together devotional by Brad & Heidi Mitchell Covenant Eyes accountability and monitoring toolsTimestamps00:00 – Why So Few Couples Pray Together00:23 – Meet Brad & Heidi Mitchell00:47 – Building a Marriage Ministry from Personal Struggles01:32 – The Inspiration Behind Their New Prayer Devotional03:51 – The Shocking Statistics About Couples Who Pray Together04:37 – Marriage Topics Couples Should Be Praying About05:41 – Keeping Christ at the Center of Marriage06:50 – How Prayer Changes Conflict and Decision Making08:08 – Common Challenges Couples Face Today09:42 – Forgiveness, Healing, and Moving Forward Together10:30 – Finding Hope After Sexual Betrayal and Broken Trust13:39 – Temptation, Thoughts, and Spiritual Growth14:40 – Their Goal of Visiting 80 Countries by Age 8017:44 – Technology, Social Media, and Marriage Challenges19:04 – Rebuilding Connection Through Eye Contact and Communication19:41 – Practical Boundaries for Phones and Screen Time21:20 – Communicating Needs Without Blame21:42– Marriage, Perseverance, and Putting Christ First22:20 – Resources for Couples and Final EncouragementSend us your feedback!Try Covenant Eyes for FREE today!Use Promo Code: FreePodcast © 2026 Covenant Eyes, All Rights Reserved

In this episode of The Church Planting Podcast, Greg Nettle sits down with Dhati and Angie Lewis—church planters, leaders at Blueprint Church in Atlanta, and founders of MyBLVD—to talk about one of the most important and often overlooked topics in ministry: how to build a thriving marriage and family while leading at a high level. With over 25 years of marriage, six children, and decades of ministry experience, Dhati and Angie share the intentional rhythms and decisions that have sustained their relationship and family through the challenges of church planting and leadership. They discuss the importance of intentionality, from setting a firm foundation early in marriage (including making divorce a non-option) to consistently learning from others, reading, and seeking wisdom for each new season of life. They also unpack how marriage evolves through different seasons—raising young kids, leading a growing church, and transitioning into empty nesting—and how leaders must regularly reset expectations and communication. The conversation also addresses parenting in ministry, including how to give children both structure and freedom as they grow, and how to navigate difficult moments when kids begin forming their own beliefs and decisions. Dhati and Angie also share powerful insights into multi-ethnic ministry, the challenges and blessings of raising a family in a diverse church context, and the importance of surrounding your family with a strong, supportive community. Finally, they offer practical tools for communication and emotional health in marriage, emphasizing the importance of being present, creating shared language, and consistently engaging one another with honesty and grace. This episode is a must-listen for church planters and leaders who want to build not just a successful ministry—but a healthy, lasting marriage and family alongside it.

Churches help prepare couples for marriage and rescue them when things fall apart, but what happens in between? That middle space—the “fine zone”—is where most couples slowly drift while everyone assumes they're okay. The truth is, fine isn't faithfulness. It's fatigue. And most churches don't have a plan for discipling marriages before they reach the breaking point. Sam interviews Brad Rhoads of Grace Marriage to find out more. Grace Marriage is helping churches change that by creating pathways for ongoing marriage discipleship, not just crisis care. The post Unbelievable: 72% of Churches Have No Marriage Ministry! appeared first on Church Answers.

This Episode is a recording of a message delivered at First Baptist Church of Massillon on Sunday, May 4th, 2025. Notes No guest today. In addition to my work at WeddingChaplain.com, I am also a local church pastor. In May 2025, our church went through a series called "No Ordinary Family." For the first part of the series, I discussed my passion for wedding ministry and my book, Before God and These Witnesses: How to Start a Marriage Ministry to Save Your Church, Reach Your Community, and Change the Culture While You're at It. I share some of my favorite stories from my wedding ministry over the past twenty-five years: the good, the bad, and the crazy. I also call for our church and others to re-engage the wedding world. Churches should be the central place couples turn to when they get engaged. The church should own the wedding industry, not watch from the sidelines.  The link on Amazon to purchase a copy of the book is here:  https://www.amazon.com/Before-God-These-Witnesses-Community/dp/1662876270 To visit the First Baptist Church of Massillon Website: FBCMassillon.org For more on David Anderson or WeddingChaplain.com David Anderson's Linktree Profile The Wedding Chaplain Website Find the Wedding Chaplain on social media: On Facebook On Instagram Twitter: @weddingchaplain On LinkedIn On Pinterest Sponsor: EWed Insurance

Kurt and Denette Schaer are the parents of three sons, including Logan, a young man with a knack for making others feel “seen” and a deep desire to point people to Jesus. In May of 2022, just a few days after his high school graduation, Logan and a passenger died after he drove his car into a pond, leaving the Schaers with a multitude of unanswered questions.  Central to their journey has been their deep faith in God, which has enabled them to come to peace with not having all the answers.  Lean in and be encouraged.  Click HERE to connect with the Broken for Better Ministry.Click HERE to listen to the Broken for Better podcast.Click HERE to learn more about Denette's soon-to-be-released book, "Highly Favored?:  Discovering Hope in the Shadows of Grief"I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

In our journey of faith, we often face transitions that test our resolve and challenge our relationships. This conversation reminds us of the importance of unity in marriage and family, especially during times of change. We see how open communication, vulnerability, and the willingness to seek God together can strengthen our bonds. The story of Joshua leading the Israelites into the Promised Land parallels our own experiences of stepping into new seasons with faith and courage. Just as Joshua had to trust God's plan, we too must lean on His guidance when facing the unknown.This message encourages us to embrace change as an opportunity for growth, to involve our children in our faith journey, and to seek wisdom from our spiritual community. As we navigate life's transitions, let's remember that our ultimate identity is in Christ, not in our roles or achievements.
